[English]

I've heard you're doing well

That you already found someone else

...

I found coins on the ground

But I didn't see anyone to hold me

To give me a hand

I cried without hiding it

When I saw your car pass by

...

I saw all the love that’s still in me

That hasn't gone away

I no longer really know where I'm going

But now I will

I tried to speak but you didn't know how to listen

To admit it

I tried to come back and saw how much I erred

I loved you more than myself, so much more than myself

More than myself

...

I've heard you're doing well

That you already found someone else

...

I found coins on the ground

But I didn't see anyone to hold me

To give me a hand

I cried without hiding it

...

When I saw your car pass by

...

I saw all the love that’s still in me

That hasn't gone away

I no longer really know where I'm going

But now I will

I tried to speak but you didn't know how to listen

To admit it

I tried to come back and saw how much I erred

I loved you more than myself, so much more than myself

More than myself

...

[Portuguese]

Ouvi dizer que você tá bem

Que já tem um outro alguém

Encontrei moedas pelo chão

Mas não vi niguém pra me abraçar

Me dar a mão

Eu chorei sem disfarçar

Quando vi seu carro passar

Vi todo o amor que em mim

Ainda não passou

Eu já não sei bem aonde vou

Mas agora eu vou

Tentei falar mas você não soube ouvir

Tente adimitir

Tentei voltar e pude ver o quanto errei

Te amei mais que a mim, bem mais que a mim

Mais que a mim

Ouvi dizer que você tá bem

Que já tem um outro alguém

Encontrei moedas pelo chão

Mas não vi ninguém pra me abraçar

Me dar a mão

Eu chorei sem disfarçar

Quando vi seu carro passar

Vi todo o amor que em mim

Ainda não passou

Eu já não sei bem aonde vou

Mas agora eu vou

Tentei falar mas você não soube ouvir

Tente adimitir

Tentei voltar e pude ver o quanto errei

Te amei mais que a mim, bem mais que a mim

Mais que a mim
